Todd SchultzI would say that there is a much more stated tolerance for doing things to a card now than previously. When I looked at the informal poll, it was running about 50-50 on whether soaking and removing marks was acceptable, maybe a little more toward acceptable. A couple of years or so ago, I believe it would have been about 20% in favor, 80% against, give or take. Maybe it was just that the stated opposition was more vocal back then, but I don't think so--I think if you studied the posts carefully, you'd see that some frequent posters then and now have changed positions. I know of one off the top of my head, but will not divulge his name either here or privately. It's not that big a deal, people of course can change their views over time, and who knows, maybe I remain the unenlightened one. I pass no judgments, I merely believe this board has become far more accepting of changes made to cards than it was a couple or few years back.
